@pawsandclawsencounters: Sometimes you just need a little treat. Lowland pacas produce a very unique noise, that almost sounds like a bear growling. But then you see their body and you’re like, “what is that?” Their cheeks actually help amplify sound. Special chambers in their skull act as resonators, helping produce deep, rumbling calls. Our pacas aren’t too fond of strangers so they don’t participate in any encounters nor are they on exhibit, but I can’t help but share them. #pawsandclawsanimalencounters #animalambassadors #notpets #paca #southamericanwildlife
